¶You are the children of Yahweh your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.You are the sons of The Lord your God, you shall not practice purification ritesª nor make baldnessᵇ in the middle of your eyes on behalf of the dead.

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.

Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat.

The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.

These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat;

and whatever doesn’t have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.

Of all clean birds you may eat.

But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and thevulture ossifrage, and the osprey,

and the red kite, and the falcon vulture, and the kite, after its kind and (what is) like to it,;

and every raven after its kind and (what is) like to it,;

and the ostrich sparrow, and the (day) owl,^[a] and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

and the little owl heron, and the great owl swan, and the horned owl ibis,

and the pelican cormorant, and the vulture, and the cormorant, hawk, and (what is) like to it; and hoopoe, and (night) owl,^[a]

and the stork pelican, and the heron charadius, after its kind and (what is like to it),; and the hoopoe, purple swamp-hen and the bat.

All winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.^[a]

Of all clean birds you may eat.

You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes forth from the field year by year.

You shall eat before Yahweh your God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear Yahweh your God always.

If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which Yahweh your God shall choose, to set his name there, when Yahweh your God shall bless you;
